Last summer, I recommended eating more berries in a blogpost since they contain protective antioxidants and flavonoids that can help improve brain function and memory. That’s still sound advice. But did you know that chocolate, especially dark chocolate, contains some of those same healthy compounds? Chocolate may also improve blood flow to the brain and reduce inflammation!
